About the Book:- |
The Nāṉmaṇ ikkaṭikai, also known as The Four-Gemmed Ornament, is a distinguished post- caṅ kam Classical Tamil literary masterpiece structured in verse form. Considered one of the eighteen minor or lesser classics in Tamil literature, it stands alongside revered works such as Tirukkuṟaḷ, Nālaṭiyār, and Tirikaṭukam. Although it may not attain the same level of renown as the immortal Kuṟaḷ, it is highly esteemed for its literary excellence, precise language usage, clarity of expression, and profound thematic content woven throughout its verses. Moreover, the work showcases the author's profound reverence for nature and astute observations of natural phenomena, reflected in the vivid descriptions and allusions interspersed throughout the text. The Four-Gemmed Ornament stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Classical Tamil literature, captivating readers with its timeless wisdom and profound revelations. |
